Notes: Matt Wisler enjoyed one of his best starts with the Chihuahuas. Triple-A is the first level that Wisler really struggled at throughout the minor leagues, but Wisler has made the necessary adjustments and has really started pitching well. Considering the fact that Padre starter Jesse Hahn is on an innings limit, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Wisler come up and take his spot in the rotation when that innings limit is reached.

Notes: Not a lot of positives for the Chihuahuas in this one. Jason Lane tossed 7 solid innings, but it wasn’t enough as the Chihuahuas had just 4 hits offensively. Brooks Conrad drove in his 40th run of the season with a sac fly in the 3rd inning. Conrad is hitting .277 over 235 AB’s with El Paso.

Previously, Brundage managed the Braves’ Triple-A affiliate for the last six seasons. Prior to his time in the Atlanta system, the 48-year-old spent 19 season in the Mariners organization as a player, coach and manager. The Georgia resident was originally drafted as a fourth round pick in 1986 and played at three levels with the Phillies, reaching as high as Double-A Reading before he was traded to Seattle.
The IronPigs hung close in the International League wild card standings through the latter portion of the season, but a loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday officially eliminated them from the postseason hunt.
This weekend, I spoke with Brundage about several of his players, including Adam Morgan, Tyson Gillies as well as Cameron Rupp and he also chatted about September call-ups among other things. Read ahead for that full interview.

One month ago, the Pawsox had a nine game lead in the divison but with inconsistent play on the road and injuries have seen their lead in divson dwindle down. Pawsox manager Gary DiSarcina said that left handed pitcher Franklin Morales will pitch one inning for the team on Monday night and will mostly need a few games to get back into full gear. DiSarcina said outfielder Mitch Maier is progressing well from his oblique injury and could return on August 1st but the news on outfielder Bryce Brentz wasn't so positive it sounded like he could miss the remainder of the year with a knee injury Leigh Valley Iron Pigs Lineup 1.

As you expect, here’s a rundown of who is hot and who is not throughout the Phillies’ four full season minor league teams.
Triple-A Lehigh Valley…
Who’s hot-
Utility man Michael Martinez has been scorching hot this past week, when over a seven-game stretch, the 30-year-old Dominican went 13-for-23 (.565 avg) with two homers and five RBI. The success follows a month in which he batted .204 in 15 games with the IronPigs and a hitless stint with the big league team in the month of May.
First baseman Cody Overbeck also had a very good seven-game stretch, as he went 11-for-26 (.423 avg) with five doubles, two home runs and nine RBI. The 27-year-old, who was a 9th round draft pick in 2008, is batting .247 overall with 11 homers and 31 RBI in 52 games this season with the ‘Pigs.
Closer Jake Diekman threw four scoreless outings and notched two saves while striking out eight batters and walking two in four innings last week.

Despite their second straight winning season, and having the Pitcher of the Year in the International League, the IronPigs were eliminated over the weekend from playoff contention, then rained out on Sunday, to finish at 75-68. A year after losing in the Governor's Cup Finals, they fell just short of a second playoff trip.
Ryne Sandberg's bunch should be proud though. In a year in which so many of their Opening Day players either left (Dave Bush for Asia, Rich Thompson in a trade), or were sent to the Phillies to fill in injury or poor performance holes, Sandberg got a lot out of this team. The fans responded too, setting an attendance record with 688,821, the top attendance in Minor League Baseball for the third straight year, making them the only team to eclipse 600,000 fans each of the last five years.

We all did. The blowhards on ESPN did. The national writers did. Everybody did. Sure, this team looked sluggish from the day they got to Clearwater, sure they had major injuries strike before opening day (in fact, before the final out of 2011 was recorded), sure they were a year older. No one though, not anyone serious, thought the Phillies would be here- 37-50, done in the NL East race, on the verge of selling off their squad. Anyone who claims they did, they are a liar. Here we are though, one of the worst teams in baseball. If you're handing out a grade so far, you can't say much more than "F" for the season, unless you have a lower grade to hand out. The starting staff, while unfortunately hurt, can't get much higher than a "D." The line-up's numbers aren't as awful as you think, but they're a "D" too, due to inconsistency and lack of timely hitting. The bench has stunk, though it was raided for starters most of the year, but it gets an "F." 09 Jul 2012 14:01:44 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/the_phillies_at_the_mid_point_and_forward/s1_10360_11184313

Dom Brown made his sixth start in Center Field last night. His average is up to .257 following a two-hit, two runs scored doubleheader. Incidentally, fellow outfielder Derrick Mitchell drove in eight runs last night to get to 30 RBI's for the year, and he's also at .257. Cody Overbeck is at .283 with 28 RBI's, and has played a little third now to go with his first base time.
After last night's two hit performance, Cesar Hernandez is hitting .313 at second base, with a .797 OPS. Darin Ruf hit his tenth homer, to go with a .344 average and 41 RBI's. Tyson Gillies is hitting .280 with 14 Extra-Base Hits. Gillies and Ruf are tied at 35 runs scored, to lead the team. Trevor May gave up five first inning runs today, and now has an ERA over five. Julio Rodriguez is off to a 3-0, 2.91 start this year in ten starts and 52.2 innings.
In Clearwater, the news has been at third base- where Cody Asche is hitting .354 with an .850 OPS, while Carlos Alonso is at .318 03 Jun 2012 14:57:16 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/around_the_pharm/s1_10360_10931189
